I do see myself as a community builder but to be honest, I just like to have a good time 💀😂. I host events for all the deep and meaningful reasons about community and safe Black Queer spaces Annddddd because I like to shenan again and again. Frolic. Play and have a good ass time 😂

I believe in FUN. My life’s purpose is to have a good ass time and to make sure other people have a good time too. Everything else is a vehicle to do that or a bonus from doing that. It’s that simple to me.

Getting laid off for the second time within a year is hitting me a little harder today. I have 30 days and need to make a list of things to do but my brain is so foggy.

That said, if you or anybody you know needs marketing, comms or social media support, send them my way. I've managed branded accounts in the higher ed, nonprofit, news and transportation industries. I can write just about anything from snappy social captions to in-depth thought leadership comtent

Got a big connect 4 and a couple jump ropes for Sunday and I am excited! The park takeover is one of my favorite events. Just vibes and hanging out. Snacks! Music. And the gays lol
